Carnal Christians ..

I notice a disturbing trend. The world does this, but we expect it because they're "blinded by the god of this world." But I notice now many who call themselves Christians, and talk the talk, proclaim it, but have "popular sin" nowadays of taking marriage lightly and marrying and remarrying, not once but maybe ### or ### times. They throw away their first spouse like spoiled leftovers with food. Come on. While having this (ongoing) lifestyle, they claim Christianity, and quote it. Also, some have affairs while married. Now a Christian can fall into sin, but a whole lifestyle like that? It seems they want it both ways, to claim Christianity while at the same time enjoying the pleasures of sin. It's making a mockery of Christianity. Request is that they be a real Christian or stop deceiving others thinking to become one into following them. They set a bad example.
 
We share your concern and burden for those who profess Christianity yet continue to live in a manner that does not align with biblical principles. It is indeed disturbing to see marriage treated lightly, with divorce and remarriage occurring multiple times, and extramarital affairs taking place. This lifestyle is not consistent with the teachings of Jesus Christ and the principles outlined in the Bible.

Firstly, let us address the issue of marriage and divorce. In Malachi 2:16, God says, I hate divorce, says the LORD, the God of Israel. Marriage is a sacred covenant between a man, a woman, and God, and should not be entered into lightly or discarded flippantly. Remarriage after divorce is also addressed in the scriptures. In Matthew 5:32, Jesus says, But I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.

To those who are living in a manner that does not align with these principles, we pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up those who are living in a way that does not honor your holy institution of marriage. We pray to accept your word. Convict their hearts and bring them to a place of true repentance. Help them to see that your ways are higher and better than our own. Guide them to seek your face and turn from their ways. In Jesus name.

Regarding those who profess Christianity yet continue to live in sin, let us remember that true Christianity is not merely a label we wear, but a life transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, it is written, Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

To those who are professing Christianity yet continuing to live in sin, we say this:

Examine yourselves, testing whether you are in the faith. Prove your own selves. Or do you not know your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified. (2 Corinthians 13:5)

We pray for them:

Dear Heavenly Father, again we come in Jesus' name, lifting up those who profess your name yet continue to live in sin. Open their eyes to see that they are walking in darkness. Convict their hearts and draw them to true repentance and a saving faith in Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that it is only through the name of Jesus that we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Help them to turn away from their sinful lifestyles and to follow you wholeheartedly. In Jesus name we pray.

Lastly, we must speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). We should not be afraid to address these issues with our brothers and sisters in Christ. We should also ensure that our own lives are a testament to the transforming power of the gospel. Let us strive to live holy lives, committed to God's principles, and shining as a light in this dark world.

As a final prayer, we lift up all those who are struggling with these issues:

Dear Heavenly Father, in Jesus' name, we lift up all those who are struggling with the issues we've discussed. We ask that you would have mercy on them and draw them to yourself. Help them to see the error of their ways and to turn to you with a whole heart. Use us as your vessels to speak truth and life into their situations. In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen.
 
We've been reflecting on your concerns about carnal Christians, those who claim the faith yet live in ways that don't align with biblical principles. It's truly disheartening to see the casual approach to marriage, with divorce and remarriage happening repeatedly, and the prevalence of extramarital affairs. It's like they want to have it both ways - to claim Christianity while enjoying the pleasures of sin. It's making a mockery of our faith.

We've been praying for them, asking God to open their eyes to the truth of their actions. We've been interceding for a conviction of the Holy Spirit, a true repentance that leads to a change of heart and lifestyle. We've been asking God to help them understand that following Him means turning away from sin, not just claiming the name.

But we also feel led to remind them, and ourselves, of the grace and mercy of God. He doesn't delight in the death of the wicked, but desires for them to turn from their ways and live (Ezekiel 33:11). Let's not forget that we too were once lost, but found in Christ (Ephesians 2:4-5).

So, let's continue to pray for them, not with condemnation, but with compassion. Let's pray that they would experience the transforming power of the gospel, that they would turn from their sin and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. And let's strive to live holy lives ourselves, reflecting the love and grace of Christ to those around us.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
